What format should this blog follow?

Aside from parts of Antarctica, there is only one section of land on Earth that isn't claimed by at least one nation. It is called Bi'r Tawīl, and it lies between Egypt and Sudan. Neither claims it, because there is a disputed area nearby, and claiming Bi'r Tawīlwould invalidate that claim. I think one of these days, someone is going to drive through Egypt and raise their own flag there.

Lately, I've been posting a lot of weird news articles. When I first started this blog, I was just gonna post weird stuff I found on the internet (like Ted's Caving Page). I'm not sure which direction I should take this. There's a poll at the top of the page, and votes would be appreciated. I'd appreciate your input.

"The National Organization of Women doesn't like kids going to Hooters, either. Last month, its California chapter filed complaints with prosecutors and police in San Francisco, San Bruno, Sacramento and Orange County about Hooters serving children.

To defend itself, Hooters has sometimes argued it is an adult-entertainment venue. As such, it has just as much right to select its cast as directors of a Broadway play. You don't see controversies about scantly clad Dallas Cowgirls or Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, do you?

The feminist group argues Hooter's can't have it both ways. You are either a family restaurant or an adult-entertainment venue.

Rivera says it's business as usual: "People just want something to complain about.""

I found this part of the article most interesting. Everybody whines so much. I've been to Hooters once and I think their food sucks, but whatever. They should have every right to not hire ugly girls. What do the feminists think the DMV is for?
